Supernova explosions of runaway stars and young neutron stars above the Galactic plane
Vinka Dakić, Sergei B. Popov, Roberto Turolla
Several supernova remnants and young neutron stars were recently discovered relatively high above the Galactic plane. One possibility is that they originate from runaway OB stars b…
The peculiar isolated neutron star in the Carina Nebula - Deep XMM-Newton and ESO-VLT observations of 2XMM J104608.7-594306
Adriana Mancini Pires, Christian Motch, Roberto Turolla +5
While fewer in number than the dominant rotation-powered radio pulsar population, peculiar classes of isolated neutron stars (INSs) -- which include magnetars, the ROSAT-discovered…
Probing the neutron star spin evolution in the young SMC Be/X-ray binary SXP 1062
S. B. Popov, R. Turolla
The newly discovered Be/X-ray binary in the Small Magellanic Cloud, SXP 1062, provides the first example of a robust association with a supernova remnant (SNR). The short age estim…
Radioquiet isolated neutron stars: old and young, nearby and far away, dim and very dim
S. B. Popov, A. Treves, R. Turolla
We briefly discuss the evolutionary path and observational appearance of isolated neutron stars (INSs) focusing on radioquiet objects. There are many reasons to believe that these…
The Magnificent Seven: Close-by Cooling Neutron Stars?
A. Treves, S. B. Popov, M. Colpi +2
We model Galactic populations of accreting and cooling isolated neutron stars in the attempt to explore their link with a new class of dim soft X-ray sources revealed by ROSAT. For…
Ultra-strong Elelctric Fields and Vacuum Breakdown: Search for an Astrophysical Scenario
Aldo Treves, Roberto Turolla, S. B. Popov
In some models of -ray bursts super-strong electric fields () have been surmized. Such large fields may provide copious pair production thr…
